Digital twin in 3D of waterworks for Vestforsyningen
Key points from the case:
About our work with the digital twin of the waterwork:
Background
As Frøjk Waterworks (part of Vestforsyningen) is facing a major renovation project and needs accurate maps and models of their waterworks in order to plan and execute the renovation efficiently – they turned to Drone Eksperten, specialists in drone-based 3D mapping and consulting services for utilities.
The challenge
Frøjk Waterworks lacked the necessary expertise and technology to map the waterworks accurately and efficiently. By partnering with Drone Eksperten, they gained access to both specialized knowledge and the latest technology that they did not have on their own.
The solution
At Drone Eksperten, we recommended using a LIDAR-equipped drone to create accurate 3D models of the waterworks. LIDAR technology is known for its precision and ability to measure and map surfaces in densely populated and complex environments. In addition, we advised Frøjk Waterworks on the most appropriate uses of the 3D models and how they could streamline the renovation process.

Results and benefits
Thanks to the collaboration with Drone Eksperten, Frøjk Waterworks achieved the following results:
- Increased efficiency: The accurate 3D models made it easier for Frøjk Waterworks to plan and implement the renovation. This allowed them to work faster and reduce the risk of errors and delays.
- Savings: The accurate 3D models reduced the need for manual surveying and minimized uncertainties and surprises during the renovation process. This led to lower costs and fewer unforeseen expenses.
- Better quality: The detailed models allowed Frøjk Vandværk to make better decisions during the renovation, resulting in a higher quality finished project.
The collaboration between Frøjk Vandværk and Drone Eksperten proved to be a successful transformation. From facing a complex renovation project with limited knowledge and technology, Frøjk Waterworks was able to achieve a more efficient, economical and quality-oriented renovation with the help of their new partners.
This case study highlights the value of working with external experts when faced with challenges that require specialized knowledge and technology. Drone Eksperten has shown that we can deliver customized solutions that can make a significant difference for companies like Frøjk Waterworks.
